Audi A4 (tiger Face) by baruwainfo: 10:02pm On Jan 21, 2013
Pls guys, I'm planning to buy Audi 'Tiger face'. I'm confused cos I've heard different things about the car and I need the assistance of those who know about the car. I need info about the price estimate, fuel consumption rate, durability and strength.
Your help will be highly appreciated as I'm making plans to purchase the car(direct Belgium) as early as next week.

I would love to help, if only you'd give the correct name. Audi "Tiger Face"? That means nothing to me, and perhaps others too.

I'm sure the name "Tiger Face" won't mean a thing to the Belgians either.

He is refering to Audi 80 1996 model.. Tiger face is just Nig slang for the car.

After answering his own.. Pls enlighting me on VW Jetta 2002, am hearing alot about it, and my sister who just got employ recently is planning to aquire one, and I dont know much about the pros and cons of that car. Pls from experience let me be convinced on what to tell her.. People told her that electrical fault is common to the said car, while some told me that its transmission issues, so she is thinking of 1999 Camry LE V4 auto. VS 2002 Jetta V4 auto. Thanks

These issues manifest themselves, when your Nigerian mechanics get hold of them.

Read reviews on the Volkswagen Jetta / Bora in the US and UK. All these "issues" you've mentioned here are an inherent problem once these cars land in Nigeria. So far, you've made a very vague statement, and said very little about the issues for friend's car had.

A 10-year-old automobile that's been trouble-free all its life, suddenly becomes a money pit with problems that could fill a book the size of the Bible after some rubbish Nigerian mechanic has gotten his hands on it. Are you seeing a pattern forming here? A car is driven into a Nigerian "workshop" for a headlamp not working. Then hours later, the "mechanic" calls the owner to tell him his car needs a new wiring harness, because the car caught fire.

Or a car is driven to a Nigerian workshop due to a misfire, only for the owner to have to arrange to have it towed out, because the "mechanic" decided to bypass all safety systems and the ECU, and the engine will no longer run. LMAO!

The problems are not the automobile themselves, but the moronic chimps who screw them up! High fuel consumption? With the thermostat removed, why won't the engine be thirsty?

Guy i think the guru here has been ignoring your request because you didn't answer his question about the type of the car you want to buy. Tiger face or Audi A4 is passing no useful info.

The thing should have been like; Audi A4 Quattro 1.8 turbo, A4 Avant Quattro 1.9 turbo diesel etc depending on what you want.

As per this issue of thermostat, I noticed some thermostats allow d fan to be on and turning even after d ignition has been turned off.
Does that not have an effect on d battery life?
